GDW Civil War

The Civil War Match is a unique match, one which got its start in Global Division of Wrestling and would continue in Global Championship Wrestling after GDW shut its doors in early 2014. There are three rings and three battle royals occurring in each ring. Eliminations at this stage occur by being thrown over the top rope with both feet touching the floor. As soon as there is a winner from each ring it becomes a triple threat elimination match. Eliminations in the triple threat stage occur by pin or submission only. The winner receives a world championship match.
